Sufferers from tho Flood.

ST. PAUL, March 23.-A special to
the Pioneer Press says: All attempts
to break the Sibley's island gorge by
dynamite are unavailing. A man was
seen riding down the river on cake
of ice, frantically calling for help, but
it was impossible to assist him.
Twelve families near Livonia had II
most terrible experience. After being
on roofs Neutrality-suspicious. thin coat
of ice formed over the river and on
this they walked to the shore, two
miles, some breaking through several
times, but being rescued. Fort Lincoln
army officers here are still of the opin-
ion that the people opposite the post
on the low lands south of the city,
perished in the flood. This belief is
becoming prevalent and rs the reports
come in from remote river districts the
story of suffering and loss of life is in
tensified.

There has been but four new cases
during the past nine days. Atpresent
there are sixteen cases, all of whom
will undoubtedly recover. Naccina-

business is progressing as usual. Real

million dollars weekly during the past
month. Other branches of business
are equally prosperous. The hotels
and streets give testimony to large

The English Sparrow.

Many years ago we first made the ac-
quaintance of the sparrow, and we were
fascinated by his saucy, contented droll
cry. 1t was in London, and just outside
the window within which our studies
were supposed to be crrried on was a
leaden roof wherein could be observed
at every hour the domestic manners and
social customs of these restless little ras-
Gals. We were never tired of their an
tlcs-tbelr tempestuOus love making,
then indefatigable housekeeping, their
petdlant quarrels, sharp-tongued and
sharp beaked too: and they cast shrewd
little glances from time to time at US
with much the expression of party of
savageS making merry near the great
idol of some divinity, Since those days,
like most other Americans, We have be-
come rather blaso on this subject, less
responsive to the sparrow's advaLces.

WITT as resident physician 1T the Penn

ccived into the hospita! during a single
month. Throughout the period referred
Signal Office records, never rose above
o. =, but it is said that the heat was of
dry nature and very insidious.
With regard to the proper food for
very warm weather, DR.. l1orwitz said
that it should be light aud easily d.
gested. Tue diet should consist princi-
pally of vege cables and fruits and fari
naceous foods. Very little meat should
be taken, and what is eaten ought not to
be fatty. Stimulants should be eSchewed
Elou-h liquid should be taken to replace
the w@inr lest to the body by perSpira-
| ton and DR. IIorw:tz mentioned icoi tea
rs :. valuable drink for warm weather.
Soups and hot drinks. he said, should
not be taken Cold water also should be
partaken of Sparing}y, particularly when
one is very warn. When asked how
| those exposed to the sun aad heat could
best protect themselves against these
forces, Dl. lIorwitZ said that they should
leave Oft All supcrituons clothing. and
have the garments they ware Loose fit
